Considered by many as the funkiest jazz organ player of them all, Richard "Groove" Holmes quickly established a reputation among the community of notable Jazz giants when he first burst upon the scene in the early sixties. With an instantly recognizable sound he gained immediate respect and quickly became a giant in the Soul-Jazz vein and certainly one of the first precursors of the "Acid Jazz" genre. He received national attention recording with such greats as Gene Ammons and Ben Webster and in 1965 became best known for his hit version of "Misty," which climbed to #12 on Billboard's R&B chart. The very funky Star Wars / Close Encounters sessions from the late-1970's find Richard surrounded by some of New York City's finest session musicians. All selections newly remastered.
